(Update : Looks like Michael Lohan doesn't have a place in Baltimore to promote "Celebrity Rehab 5" after all. Mosaic, where he had been scheduled to appear with Octomom Nadya Suleman abruptly canceled the event Tuesday, said spokesman and general manager Vincent Martinez. Goodlife Boys, which was promoting the event, also backed out Tuesday.) Michael Lohan will promote his stint on "Celebrity Rehab 5" with, what else, a party at a Baltimore club. Call it another success story for the addiction show and Dr. Drew Pinsky's counsel. A rep for Lohan said the tabloid nuisance isn't actually in recovery because he didn't go on the show for alcohol or drug addiction treatment.

NEW YORK - Instead of strutting in stilettos, they bounced in saddle shoes. No, these were not the usual models seen on the runways of Fashion Week, except for the labels on the clothes they were wearing: Escada, Hilfiger, Sean John, Kenneth Cole, Nicole Miller. Those were some of the designers showing their fall lines here yesterday - for 4- to 11-year-olds. Call it high fashion for the knee-high set, the kind of cashmere blazers, leather jackets and faux furs that trendy moms and dads wear, miniaturized for their offspring.

LOS ANGELES - Maybe nice guys finish last, but Mean Girls came in first at the weekend box office. The comedy starring Lindsay Lohan as a student who gets swept up in the backstabbing politics of fashion, love and popularity among high school cliques, earned $25 million, according to studio estimates yesterday. Although it starred 17-year-old Lohan, the presence of Saturday Night Live star Tina Fey, who also wrote the screenplay, appealed to grown-up moviegoers. About 75 percent of the audience was female and about half the audience was under 18, said Wayne Lewellen, head of distribution for Paramount, which released the movie.

Amanda Bynes - she of the hit Nickelodeon TV show, a star of the surprise summer smash Hairspray, a young actress both adorable and talented - has a movie coming out next week, an utterly charming film about a girl who goes off to college and refuses to simply do what everyone else does. Heard anything about it? Probably not; for reasons that seem unfathomable, Sydney White seems to be flying below everyone's radar screen. It isn't being heavily promoted on TV, posters for it aren't hanging everywhere, Bynes hasn't been ubiquitously staring out from magazine covers, and buzz about it has been noticeably absent.

Talk about classic movie images and a few quickly come to mind: sparks flying from the ruby slippers in The Wizard of Oz, E.T. pointing at Elliott's heart, the snow globe shattering at the beginning of Citizen Kane. Then, of course, there's the VW Beetle winning an auto race in 1969's The Love Bug. Anyone who isn't charmed by the idea of a Beetle crossing the finish line first is either chronically churlish or isn't trying. Movie audiences, especially kids, have always been with the program, making a hit of The Love Bug as well as its four theatrical sequels (the last of which was 1980's Herbie Goes Bananas)

Disney should find out just how bankable nostalgia is with "The Parent Trap," a film that comes across as nothing if not caught in a time warp.Which should come as no surprise, since it's a pretty faithful remake of the 1961 Disney film that made a star of Hayley Mills, playing twins inadvertently reunited at summer camp who then connive to reunite their parents. This go-round, it's newcomer Lindsay Lohan playing the twins.Parents who remember "The Parent Trap" fondly -- and there are plenty of them -- will find plenty to like about this amiable descendant, which comes complete with knowing winks at both the original film (remember Mills and her guitar?

Still coming down from the unexpectedly riveting Winter Olympics? We've got you covered. Here's our pop culture week in review -- with a bit of Olympics chaser to go down smoothly. VIENNA WINS 'THE BACHELOR': Apparently, not just for sausages anymore. ASTRO-NUT: Oh, Buzz Aldrin. You can either talk scientifically about bringing man to Mars or you can join the cast of "Dancing With the Stars." But not both. LINDSAY LOHAN TO PEN MEMOIR: Stop trying to make "respectability" happen, Lindsay.

Katy Perry hosts “SNL” this week, so we asked our staff which singer, besides Justin Timberlake, they would like to see host next. •••• Does Lindsay Lohan count as a singer? Editor's note: Nope. Luke Broadwater, reporter, The Baltimore Sun •••• If Nicki Minaj appeared in three sketches, that would be a guaranteed three memorable bits. Which is three more than in many “SNL” broadcasts. Plus, I'd like a reprise of “The Creep.” Anne Tallent, editor, b •••• Although I'm not a huge fan, Childish Gambino, aka Donald Glover, would make perfect sense.

I've learned to endure advertisements being shown before movies; theater owners, after all, have to make their money somewhere, and they don't get all that much from ticket sales. And I'm no longer overly bothered by product-placement in the movies. In fact, I find it more silly than anything else when cans of Coke or Pepsi are displayed more prominently than the characters in some scenes. But these full-page pop-up ads on imdb.com have got to go! Don't get me wrong. I love the imdb, and my job would be immeasurably harder without it. When it comes to double-checking what year the original Poseidon Adventure came out, or ensuring that Lindsay Lohan did, in fact, get her start in a remake of The Parent Trap, there is no substitute for this Internet font of cinematic information.
